The Louisville Metro Council on Thursday night delayed acting on banning the sale of liquor and wine by package stores after 2 a.m. and raised the possibility of also eliminating late-night sales of beer by hundreds of convenience stores and other outlets.

After nearly two hours of debate on what has become a highly controversial measure, the council voted 16-10 to return the proposed ordinance - which applies just to package stores selling liquor and wine as written - to its public safety committee for further debate.
